I came to the US in 2014 and didn't file a declaration of permanent departure from Brazil. I still keep my bank accounts and now I'd like to invest and I'm realizing that it's impossible for small investors. If I haven't made this declaration, could I have any problems in the future? Remember that I don't declare tax in Brazil.
Hi Vinicius!
I came to the US in 2014 after taking a 3-year leave of absence for private interests, after which I resigned from my position in the Public Prosecutor's Office. Since I came to the US, I haven't filed a tax return or declared my departure from Brazil. I own a house in my name. My CPF is in order and I have an active bank account there. This year I thought about investing in direct treasuries and CDB, CDI, etc., and that's when I discovered that I had to file this tax return. Here in the US, I'm my husband's dependent for income tax and I'm a housewife, so I don't file a tax return. What do you think I should do? Thank you!
